10.2 Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is often damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Pressure points, where connection cables are passed through windows
or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been improperly fastened or
routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut due to being driven
over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not be used and are life-
threatening due to the insulation damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage regularly. Ensure that
the connection cables are disconnected from electrical power when check-
ing for damage.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the applicable VDE and
DIN provisions. Only use connection cables of the same designation.
The printing of the type designation on the connection cable is mandatory.
10.3 AC motor
• The mains voltage must be 230 V∼ 50 Hz.
• Extension cables up to 25 m long must have a cross-section of 1.5 mm
Connections and repair work on the electrical equipment may only be
carried out by electricians.
Please provide the following information in the event of any enquiries:
• Type of current for the motor
• Data of machine type plate
• Data of motor type plate
11. Cleaning, maintenance and storage
m Attention!
Pull out the mains plug before carrying out any cleaning and maintenance
work! Risk of injury from electric shock!
m Attention!
Wait until the equipment has cooled down completely! Danger of burning!
m Attention!
Always depressurise the equipment before carrying out any cleaning and
maintenance work! Danger of injury!
11.1 Cleaning
• Keep the device as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub the device
clean with a clean cloth or blow it off with compressed air at low pres-
sure.
• We recommend that you clean the device directly after every use.
• Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp cloth and a little soft
soap. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents; they could
attack the plastic parts of the device. Make sure that no water can pen-
etrate the device interior.
• The hose and injection tools must be disconnected from the compres-
sor before cleaning. The compressor must not be cleaned with water,
solvents or similar.
11.2 Maintaining the pressure vessel (fig. 1)
m Attention!
To ensure a long service life for the pressure vessel (8), drain off the con-
densate after each use by opening the drain screw (6).
Release the vessel pressure first (see 11.6.1).
Open the drain screw (6) by turning it anti-clockwise (looking at the screw
from the bottom of the compressor).
In order to drain the condensation water completely out of the pressure
vessel (8), it must be tilted slightly to the side so that the drain screw (6) is
the lowest point.
Then close the drain screw (6) again (turn it clockwise). Check the pressure
vessel (8) for rust and damage each time before use.
Do not use the compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure vessel (8). If
you discover damage, please contact the customer service workshop.
11.3 Safety valve (fig. 8)
The safety valve (9) has been set for the highest permitted pressure of
the pressure vessel (8). It is not permitted to adjust the safety valve (9) or
remove the connection lock (9b) between the exhaust nut (9a) and its cap
(9c). Actuate the safety valve (9) every 30 operating hours but at least 3
times a year to ensure that it works when required. Turn the perforated
exhaust nut (9a) counterclockwise to open it and use your hands to pull the
valve rod outwards over the perforated exhaust nut (9a) to open the outlet
of the safety valve (9). Now, the valve audibly releases air. Then, tighten
the exhaust nut (9a) clockwise again.

11.4 Cleaning the air filter (fig. 9, 10)
The air filter (4) prevents dust and dirt being sucked in. It is essential to
clean this air filter (4) after at least every 300 hours in service. A blocked
air filter (4) significantly reduces the compressor power.
Turn the air filter (4) counterclockwise to remove it. Open the filter cover
(4c) and remove it. You can now take out the filter element (4b). Carefully
tap out the filter element (4b), the filter cover (4c) and the filter housing
(4a). These components must then be blown out with compressed air (ap-
prox. 3 bar) and reassembled in reverse order.
11.5 Service information
With this product, it is necessary to note that the following parts are subject
to natural or usage-related wear, or that the following parts are required
as consumables.
Wearing parts*: air filter
* may not be included in the scope of supply!
11.6 Storage
m Attention!
Pull out the mains plug and ventilate the equipment and all
connected pneumatic tools. Store the compressor in such a
way that it cannot be used by unauthorised persons.
m Attention!
Store the compressor only in a dry location which is not
accessible to unauthorised persons. Always store upright,
never tilted!
11.6.1 Releasing excess pressure
Release the excess pressure by switching off the compressor and using
the compressed air which is still left in the pressure vessel (8), e. g. with a
compressed air tool running in idle mode or with a blow-out pistol.
